Several weeks back I found myself trying out St. Elmo's Cafe
in Bethesda. When I overheard another patron order up a special
Moroccan dish which was not on the menu I asked to try it myself. 
It turned out to be this big bowl of couscous, lamb sausage,
parsnips and other delectable items. Turned out to be very 
delightful.
 
When I was suddenly attacked by a craving for the dish this
morning I called the St. Elmo's Cafe folks up to see if it
was being served for lunch. Turns out it is only served on
Wednesday. HOWEVER, the man added, it MAY be discontinued
altogether despite the fact that it is very popular among
our patrons.
 
I did not ask exactly WHY it was possibly getting axed, but
it just may be that overwhelming demand for the dish can
save it. So, if this sounds like your kind of fare, come on
down on Wednesdays and ask for it!
 
IMHO you won't be disappointed. :-)
